Guided farm and countryside walks around Westover farm
Westover
Farm is a 150 acre
grassland farm set in a beautiful valley, just a mile from the sea at Charmouth,
near Lyme Regis, Dorset.
A cattle farm,
with a dairy herd until 2003, now a beef farm.
A circular
walk includes the environmental areas and the working farm. You see and “say
hello” to the cattle, the small grassland fields with trees and big hedges, the
stream and much more. Hopefully you might see some of the many birds and other
animals on the farm.
The farmer (Jon
Snook) is a qualified FE teacher.

Educational Access
As part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme, the
Government pays certain farmers to invite groups of the
public to visit their farms to learn about the
countryside. Groups can be school parties studying
farming as part of the National Curriculum, or groups
wishing to learn about food production, farming,
wildlife conservation, landscape and historical
features. These visits are free of charge to the
group (Minimum 6 people) |
